• Back in 2005, France’s Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand admitted to paying “boys” for sex. This wouldn’t be news today, if Mitterand had kept his mouth shut about Roman Polanski. But he didn’t. Mitterand defended the director. And now President Nicolas Sarkozy has to come to his defense.

Soft again. Plus, this “outsiders” stuff isn’t going to fly – Maine religious people are the opposition. Maine Equality just keeps looking like they are “begging” for acceptance. That didn’t work in CA.
